[LAA] Drumstick Libraries 2.5.0 and wrk2mid 1.1.0 released

[Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas]

Drumstick Libraries 2.5.0
====================

Drumstick is a set of MIDI libraries using C++/Qt5 idioms and style. 
Includes a C++ wrapper around the ALSA library sequencer interface: ALSA 
sequencer provides software support for MIDI technology on Linux. A 
complementary library provides classes for processing SMF (Standard MIDI 
files: .MID/.KAR), RIFF MIDI (.RMI), and Cakewalk (.WRK) file formats. A 
multiplatform realtime MIDI I/O library and a GUI Widgets libraries are 
also provided for Linux, Windows, and Mac OSX.

Changes in v2.5.0:

* New build options: BUILD_ALSA, BUILD_FILE, BUILD_RT, BUILD_WIDGETS to 
control building only some of the libraries.
* RT, VPiano: Fixed ALSA and CoreMIDI backends, enabling empty connections 
(for using external connection tools).
* Deprecation of the Drumstick::File functions affected by the QTextCodec 
class removal on Qt6.
* Raised macOS deployment target to 10.13 (High Sierra).
* Widgets: changed the white keys background picture depending on the key 
background color.
* VPiano: new option to display inverted key colors.
* File: WRK format markers processing. Closes ticket #37.
